About This Site

The Crop Duster has two goals. One is to organize links to my critical work: reviews written for The Herald (Everett, Washington) and Seattle Weekly; and public appearances and TV jobs. Selected past work for Film Comment and elsewhere is also linkified. You may also link to my website of 1980s reviews and learn more about my book on Frankenstein and my graphic novel, ROTTEN.

The second goal is to keep a daily record of films watched, annotated with brisk, brief comments. It's a slightly more advanced version of the movie list I kept, in Flair pen, thumbtacked next to my bed when I was twelve.

On KUOW’s “Weekday,” I talked with Steve Scher about the “Celluloid Seattle: A City at the Movies” exhibit at the Museum of History and Industry, as well as Zero Dark Thirty. The show is archived here.

Next Thursday, January 10, I will be delivering a Curator’s Talk at MOHAI about the exhibit. That’s at 7 p.m. and it’s free, although if you want to tour the exhibit itself the usual ticket price applies. Passes for the talk may be reserved here.
